Why Adam Basil ranks #261 in Athletics
Adam Basil ranks 261st among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 2651st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 82, Longevity 76, Honours 76, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Athletics reference universe of 308 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1995–2004 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2000, which sets the Peak component at 82. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 82 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes commonwealth games medals 1, australian titles 2, olympic appearances 1, world championship appearances 2.
Immediately ahead sits Elvis Afrifa on 76.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Ristananna Bailey-Cole on 76.6. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
